Jorge E. Sagarra

Jorge Sagarra counsels ultra-high-net-worth private clients, closely held businesses and public company executives on estate and tax planning, helping them plan for transitions in ownership and wealth with clarity and confidence. Based in Portland, Jorge is a member of Holland & Knight's Global Wealth and Family Office Group and brings advanced training in domestic and international taxation to his practice.

Jorge's planning work is grounded in a strong tax foundation. He earned an LL.M. in Taxation from Northwestern University Pritzker School of Law, where he served on the editorial staff of The Tax Lawyer, and completed extensive coursework in international taxation – preparation that is relevant when planning involves cross-border considerations.

He also developed early experience in client advocacy during law school. As a law clerk for the Cuban American Bar Association (CABA), Jorge assisted attorneys with pro bono immigration matters, and he handled additional pro bono immigration work through his school's immigration clinic. He also clerked for a Miami real estate firm, where he worked on condominium association disputes.

Together, this tax training and practical experience help Jorge give business owners, executives and their families well-grounded guidance as they plan for the future.
